How I Grew My Hands Bigger In 10 Days!

[@metaldisturbed5880]

As an arm wrestler, I can tell you that hands definitely grow. I’ll actually use some of these exercises in my training, so thank you!

[@johnclayton4946]

I mean science and google says they can't grow and yet I have seen people grow them. When bones are still young like in your 20's or so there is definitely something you can do to make your wrists or hands bigger, but it requires stress certain stress coming from certain heavy movements!

[@johnclayton4946]

@sin pin Yes it's possible, but there is no special exercise! Diets high in protein seem to make you taller! Any kind of exercise will help height, but it all depends on whether or not your growth plates have closed.. and growth plates close at different times for different body parts! Meaning maybe your spine hasn't done growing yet and you might still have a chance. It really depends because you see people grow when they're 25 years old!

[@johnclayton4946]

@sin pin I have seen plenty of guys grow in their 20' but sometimes the difference is by one inch! You're probably still growing, but at a slow rate that in 5 years you'll be 3 cm taller. It all depends even doctors won't be able to answer! Just eat a high protein diet with plenty of vegetables!

[@Mr.Harris.]

@sin pin hgh but it’s $$$$$

[@ogposer]

@sin pin you can increase your height on 2 or 3 cm just by stretching and strenghtening the muscles around your spine, most of the people basically have small traps and other back and neck muscles which keeping body straight and make you look taller.

Super random (but sorta relevant to the topic) story that probably nobody will read. I was always jealous of my dad's thick/big hands. Mine are smaller and skinny compared to his. One day i searched online for ways to thicken them and came across captains of crush hand grippers. A couple years later i finally got some and went on to become a grip strength training addict. Eventually, this passion branched into overall fitness and i lost 80lbs and have been the fittest/healthiest ive ever been. While my hands only grew a minuscule amount since then, the things that came with this journey were even better. To make things even crazier, i nearly died from a double lung infection in 2020 but that was after losing the weight and quitting smoking in the process. I doubt id be around if i was still unhealthy at the time. So in some kind of insane, indirect way, the pursuit of bigger hands saved and greatly improved my life

I'd love to see a 90 day follow up video on this. To make it more scientific I would recommend circumferential measurements across the fingers and palms using a tape measure as well as a grip strength measurement with a dynamometer. Bonus points if you make a hand size dunk tank to measure the mass of your hands by comparing volume displacement.

A very good exercise that is actually making bricklayers hands that big is to carry buckets over distances 25kg/50lbs buckets held by the very thin steel handle. It hurts the hands so much but your hands will definitely grow. I am a welder and i have very beefy hands Handling an axe or swinging a 4 pounds hammer against something hard is also a great exercise. Tightening clamps with as much force as you can is also a very painful but good exercise for wrist, forearm and hand.

The explanation for the pump when you have your hands in the ice could be as simple as that : When a part of your body have a drastic change of temperature it will tend to adapt. So we know cold reduce inflammation, but you can be inflammed by the cold too, why? Because the body will try to recover the temperature and will pump more and more blood in the cold part. That's why you feel pumped and warmed too.

[@georgiosc1000]

By the way about hand growth, it’s a common thing in kung fu to train and it’s very possible as you’ve said, the thing that monks and kung fu students usually do is break the tip of their fingers slightly, barely any recovery on that, by hitting their fingers tip on slightly bent to hard walls and hard sand, very close to your earthing movement in day 4 u think it was, and what that does is when it’s breaking the tip of the fingers, the recovery makes your bones thicker and hence makes the skin thicker too, they also do the same training but for the palms of the hand or any part of the hands, that is why kung fu masters have insanely thick hands and have strong strength too. Breaking slightly your bone to make it thicker ultimately gives you strength on that part too, when I used to train like that (stopped due to a back injury and now I’m somewhat recovered), my hands were stronger, fingers thicker, and as a goalkeeper in football, harder grip and even without gloves, a full strong shot coming towards me doesn’t hurt when I’m trying to save that shot. It’s an insane training to do and very beneficial. A lot of the exercises you did are very helpful for hand growth too!

[@NGAOPC]

Yup I thought of the karate iron hand stuff as well; there are videos but there are a great many ways to do tendon damage trying to rush through them untutored.

[@georgiosc1000]

@@NGAOPC yeh exactly, iron kungfu or iron karate, anything close to that, and yeh I guess you could always do them untutored, but obviously better having someone that practice those on a daily basis that way he lets you know when you should stop or how you should feel and all that.

[@wildstallion2.048]

Would that work on other bones in the body if u broke them?

[@Dissenter]

Yeah, my first boxing coach (who had been teaching for 50+ years) had small hands but HUGE knuckles that protruded over his hands whenever he made a fist. He trained them by hitting a bag he made with the liquid that hardens and is used for arm/leg casts. However only his knuckles got big, but if he had done conditioning on his entire hand, the entire hand would have probably gotten as big.

[@georgiosc1000]

@@wildstallion2.048 I am not sure for other parts of the body, although i do conditioning training on every part of the body, such as hitting yourself with a small steel pipe (this is what i use the most), of course you start slow then make the hits stronger and stronger, you start at the beginning to feel pain and then later on the pain will decrease consistently with your training. I would advise you to look at how the kung fu lads usually condition themselves, now I am not sure if it makes the bones thicker or the skin, but i do know that when i kick or punch, it is more powerful, and when i get kicked or punched it hurts less. But please make your research first, dont go breaking your body because if you do it the wrong way then there are consequences, and in this training, i dont focus on breaking bones such as fingers, i just focus on being able to take pain better, and i think breaking your finger bones isnt the same as breaking your leg bones, one can be brutal the other you can live with it, and of course dont overdo it, please do a lot of research before starting these types of training, they are brutal and you need to start slow with small steps or else it could cause permanent injuries! I hope it helps

[@JustPorcupines]

Rice or sand bucket training is extremely effective for grip strength and forearm development (the pumps are insane). It is also a very effective way to thicken your hands and fingers. This method is used by rock climbers, arm wrestlers, martial artists, and even as part of a training protocol for baseball. It's thickened my hands and fingers, but also caused some serious forearm gains. Rice bucket exercises could be a useful addition to your regimen.

[@sylokthedefiled]

is that where you hold the bucket as long as you can in a lateral raise position?

[@JustPorcupines]

@@sylokthedefiled No, but that would probably be really effective too. It involves filling a 5 gallon bucket with 30 lbs of rice or enough sand to fill it 80%. Your hands go into the rice or sand, and different movements can be used from there. You can grab the rice/sand and squeeze, or push your hand as close to the bottom as possible, twisting your hand in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion, while squeezing, then reversing direction and open the hand/fingers fully on the way back up (this thickens the whole hand, including the back of the hand, and is great for forearms), or place your fist deep in the bucket, then move your hand in circles (this pumps the wrists and forearms). There are many other rice bucket techniques, which target specific areas of the hand/fingers/wrists/forearms. If you look here on KZbin for rice bucket exercises or rice bucket training, there are tons of videos on the topic. It's worth checking out for sure.

[@sylokthedefiled]

@@JustPorcupines ohhhh. interesting! so it’s basically using resistance to help train the muscles and tendons in the forearm and hands. that’s really cool!

Actually, I'm a guitar player for about 26 years, and my left (fingering) hand is bigger than the right (picking) hand, even though my right hand is dominant!. Another interesting thing is that the only difference in size resides on the proximal phalanges (first and bigger bone of the fingers, next to the palm). Everything else (palm and other phalanges) is exactly the same size in both hands.

[@Delv3r]

woah, wait a second, I play guitar too and my fingering hand is bigger than my right picking hand too. Just by a couple millimetres but still. Thats interesting

[@mseong6973]

could be due to the pressure on the bone exerted for long time periods which might have caused the bone to grow slightly thicker/adapt in shape, making it larger. I'd say an interesting addition to the training based on this would be finger tip pushups

[@TomMilleyMusic]

Yeah I play guitar as well and my left is a bit longer, though it's actually pretty noticeable with my thumbs. I figure it might be because I do a lot of Hendrix style barre chords with my thumb fretting the low string. The other fingers are only slightly longer, with my index having the biggest difference besides the thumb. My left thumb is also more flexible and feels less tight to move around, which again might make sense with using the Hendrix style chords a lot

Come with me on a thinking exercise. If you want bigger arms and they’re 1/3 biceps and 2/3 triceps if you work both muscles you arms develop 3x faster than just doing biceps.

Hey, great video! Interesting idea of brown fat development within the hands. Not sure if you came across recent studies of subcutaneous adipose tissue's conversion to brown fat, but, not sure if you would accumulate brown fat within the hands like you were hoping. The white fat deposits within the hand would most likely convert, not multiply, through the acute exposure to cold, increasing intracellular browning genes such as UCP-1 and PPARy by MAPK, etc. (stress regulators). The adipogenic (differentiation of preadipocytes) pathways such as C/EBPa and PGC1a are sparked by different cellular mechanisms; although, this is up for debate in the literature. I am also curious how you would measure your outcomes due to the strength training and acute cold exposure concurrently. Additionally, other than the brown adipocyte development, acute cold exposure has been shown to downregulate (decrease) hypertrophy pathways due to its effect on inflammation. So, this approach might be a double edge sword. I know this was lengthy and probably a little nerdy, but I never thought of region development of brown adipose tissue other than the stomach to aid insulin sensitivity.

[@fireblaze6837]

Hey man, good explanation. I've looked into this awhile ago, but the downregulation of hypertrophy pathways is short-term, correct? Due to the inflammatory blunting? I believe it is but never could find a solid answer as to whether cold exposure (cold showers, etc) could produce a long lasting inhibition of hypertrophy.

[@nehemiahhofmekler]

@@fireblaze6837 Hey, great question. That is correct, the downregulation of hypertrophic pathways are for the short-term as the reduction of inflammation would lead to the recovery of the muscle but not the adaptation of the muscle. It has its place, for instance if you are a professional athlete, you don’t really need to adapt to a stressor during season, you need to practice. Thus, decreased inflammation could help this process to get you back on the field faster and could avoid any unnecessary injury risks. I don’t really think cold shower count in this category though. It could alter the speed of muscle growth, but I doubt it will completely terminate it like acute cold exposure. Unless your cold showers are freezing temperatures, like an ice bath. While the literature doesn’t specify the long-term effects of acute cold exposure on muscle hypertrophy, I would assume chronic extreme cold exposures would effect the stimulus recovery adaptation curves eliciting a long-term response. Hope this made sense!

[@fireblaze6837]

@@nehemiahhofmekler Thanks man, legendary answer. And yeah, the ice / cold bath thing applies to a lot of high dose antioxidants too from what I've seen, to where the studies show it can have an acute effect on improving performance and recovery at the cost of adaptation. What you said about cold showers not being as strong of an effect is also why I just have a quick cold rinse to wake me up usually, and don't do cold plunges right now, haha.

I wonder if ice cold exposure would induce growth of the bones and tendons/ligaments via up regulation of growth hormone as a result of heat shock (perhaps sauna then ice bath “supersetted” would be more effective, or hot/cold therapy)

[@Owliver0411]

I think It might be because of vibrations too: when a farmer uses tools, he gets vibrations in the handle. When he uses a tractor, there are a LOT of vibrations too. So probably trying to hold a vibrating object as hard as you can could be a good workout.

My palms have grown significantly from using tough captains of crush grippers and even my fingers have thickened. My wrists have grown slightly but I've also incorporated other exercises normally meant for arm wrestling which have aided in that. I don't notice my fingers being any longer and I don't have a before measurement but they are currently 8 3/8 - 8 1/2 ish (theve always been above 8 for sure just don't know exactly) and it is significantly easier to palm a basketball for me now however that could just be from the massive increase in grip strength. It is possible to grow muscles in the hands but they don't aid in the length just the palm. The fingers thickening is due to the skin getting thicker. Maybe it's possible to grow the length, like I said I never tracked that so I'm not certain but since I know my hand measurement now I can keep going and then see in the future if there was growth.

I used to do kettle bells exercises for strength. And my hands grew a whole glove size. The key is thick handles. Work on the grip strength. And no, your hands don't shrink after training them. You can loose strength. But not size. Also, you should have measured to see if your wrists and forearms grew. Would be interesting to see what muscles and tendons will do to compensate for this. Edit: living in a cold climate your hands in different Temps will help with circulation and not hand growth.

Bones are supposed to change over time. They are solid as rock but they are alive. There is this hypothesis that bone density increases with exercise and impact, and their inner structures become more intricate and dense. I don't know if grow in size, but for sure respond to the stimuli of activity, so I wouldn't be surprised if you can make your bones grow some amount. Specially before 40, because you are still growing in width, but maybe later as well.

By the way, whenever i do any kind of exercise that requires to hold something and move it, i would grab it in a way so that the gap between your thumb and the rest of fingers are opposed to the force you're fighting, for example on farmer walks, i'd carry dumbbells so that the gap between the side with my thumb and the side with the rest of my fingers would be straight down, so that my fingers have to fight gravity harder instead of forming a simple hook, you can also use very large handles on things to avoid using just the hook method that uses less strength :)

The hand ice bath that you were attempting to do is called Vasodialtion and you were doing it wrong. The proper way is to have a bucket of ice water AND a bucket of hot water. You dip your hands in the cold water and hold for about 20 - 30 seconds then remove them and immediately submerge them in the hot water. The cold water causes the blood vessels in the hands to constrict and then dipping them in the hot water make the blood vessels expand. This serves to increase blood flow and pump blood into the hands which aids in recovery and reduced soreness. Boxers have been doing it since the 60's, after a fight or heavy bag training.

[@184ktmdm]

Ok so maybe this is a safe place to admit this 😂. Being insecure of the size of my hands I was always comparing. I just always noticed a difference in the size of mens hands who are in their early 20s compared to guys say in their 40s. Older guys usually have much bigger hands even if they are shorter and smaller in stature. Maybe just decades of use built some muscle on the hands.

[@demmerfreak]

In terms of getting Bigger Hands, I think what we are seeing here, is that the skin/muscle tissue in your hands grew, due to extended hypertrophic work. Your actual bones in the hands probably did not grow, since that is only possible with the help of peptides, such as HGH (large and thicker hands are usually a side-effect of HGH use in bodybuilding). So you are pretty much confirming what grip-trainees and arm-wrestles already knew. Train your grip like a main moment/muscle group in your program, and you'll see your hands get thicker, not longer or bigger, but thicker, which can add some length, but an insignificant amount. Although it's hard for me to believe you achieved this in only 10 days. While it is possible to train your hands thicker, it usually, like all other training, takes years. Yet I personally think having THICK hands is superior to having BIG(as in wide and long) hands. So train your hands consistently for 4-10 years and you'll get those fucking thick mason-like shovels.

So u think with this exercise in the video i can get atleast 1-2 millimeter longer hands? I dont need thos is 2 weeks but would be nice when the hand grow even if it takes a year , which exercise would u recommend?✌🏼

[@demmerfreak]

@@Chef_cookk I think the effect seen in this video is most likely the same as we can see when people hang from pullup bars regularly. Hanging from pullup bars can stretch your spin, increasing your height slightly by an inch or so, however this effect will pass over time due to gravity pulling your upper body down reducing your height again with an inch or so. doing regular daily stretches from a pullup bar will increase your height, also called "morning height" since your spin is all stretched out when you get out of bed, yet you will return to your "normal" height during the day. The ligaments in the fingers can be manipulated the same, yet it is not a permanent change, since your soft tissue is very malleable, yet will return to normal if not kept regularly. It's a bit different with muscle tissue, which doesn't need daily work to remain, but still needs to be worked at least a few times a week. To specifically target the "hands" you must do grip-focused work, and since the hands and forearms are small muscle groups, they need to be worked hard and regularly. Now most of the muscles in the hand come from the forearms, so there is a limit to how much muscle potential there actually is within the hand itself. However, with proper diet/weight gain and increased water, retention, the tissues in your hands, especially around the fingers will increase, making the fingers appear thicker and heavier. The thumb pad is the only "Real" muscle that can grow through resistance training, this is usually done through presses(bench press or overhead press) or grippers, like Captain'Crush. High volume is key and specific exercises that target those muscle groups need to be priorities in your program. I'd say do dedicated forearm/hand work 3-4 times a week. In my current powerbuilding program. I do 3 days of dedicated forearm/hand work a week, and 2 days of heavy pressing. For exercise selection I currently do. Reserve grip curls, high rep 12-20 moderate weight for 3-4 sets, for the Brachioradialis Wrist curls, using a barbell, you can go quite heavy on these, high reps, 3-4 sets, for the Extensor Carpi Ulnarus, and for the Thenar group (Thumb pad) I do heavy presses twice a week, and all my other arm work is done using fat grips on the bars. To increase tension in the forearms and hands. Keep in mind, that increasing bodyfat will also naturally "grow" your hands and forearms - Yet at the cost of other things. it is very hard to sit at 10-13% bodyfat as a natural and have large thick hands, unless you have that from genetics. Steroid users can get massive hands, even at low bodyfat percentages, usually due to the mixture of HGH they use in their cycles. I'm currently only sitting at around 13 inch forearms, hoping to increase that to atleast 15 or maybe 16 by the end of my natural progression, and by then my hands should be noticeably larger/thicker aswell. Hope this helped a bit, Kind regards. I
